I have been issued with a parking charge notice by Premier Park who display their parking notice in Newbury Retail Park in Ilford a reduced charge of £60 if paid within 14 days or £100 if I donít for overstay of 2 minutes 16 seconds! On their parking notice it states that parking period commences 5 minutes after entering car park. They belong to the British Parking association who also state that customers should be given 10 minutes grace at the end of parking. There are only 3 shops in this Retail Park, one of which is Aldi, Babies are Us (now closed due to going into Adminstration) and Pets at Home. I had been shopping in Aldi and then went into Babies are Us. I have contacted Aldi to see if they can cancel this but they say that they do not use Premier Park even though their shop is on that retail park and Aldi customers use it, and so are unable to help me. So do I appeal this charge? Thanks for any help.

funny enough I'm also in the same boat as you, same place in Newbury Retail park ilford at around the same time time, i think it's because after the driver shopped at Aldi, they must've had a stroll in Toys R Us due to its closing down sale. The registered now keeper however received a FINAL REMINDER as a first letter, so didn't received any correspondence before and now its asking for £115.

This letter doesn't state date/time of when the event took place, so had to go online to check pics of the vehicle showing date and time.

I am now looking to use the template letter on the main post as it is along with a pic of the store receipt.

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.
